Preamble: I'm a developer. I used to work for a micromanaging tyrant. In order to keep my sanity, I would post some of his shenanigans to friends. I quit a few years ago, but sometimes still work for him as a contractor. Shit My Boss Says Boss: “I wish [coworker] wasn't on vacation.” Me: (joking) “No more vacations! For anyone! Ever!” Him: “I don't mind people going on vacation. I just need them working more when they're on vacation.” Sad thing is… he's not joking.
